Weston Snowboards is a Colorado-based brand built by backcountry riders for backcountry riders. Founded in 2013, Weston makes a point of designing every board specifically as a splitboard first — not as a solid board with a split added as an afterthought. Their entire range is built in their Colorado facility, and the brand’s culture is rooted in long-day touring, ski mountaineering, and technical alpine descents.
Weston Splitboard Lineup
The Weston range covers everything from the accessible Riva and Rise to the expedition-grade Ridgeline and the aggressive Backwoods. A notable strength is their attention to women’s specific sizing, with the Rise available in very small sizes that give lighter riders access to proper backcountry performance.

Who Are Weston Splitboards For?
Weston appeals to riders who want a dedicated touring tool with serious freeride credentials. The Range is their most versatile option, handling firm morning snow and afternoon powder with equal competence. The Ridgeline is for committed alpine freeriders who regularly push into serious terrain. Beginners can start with the Riva, which keeps climbing efficiency high and punishes mistakes less harshly.
Weston Construction Philosophy
Weston uses American-sourced Paulownia and Poplar wood cores, kept light to reduce touring fatigue. Carbon tip-to-tail construction on their premium models (Ridgeline, Backwoods) adds precision without excessive weight. The Freedom Wood Core system is their signature approach — layering different wood species to tune flex and torsion independently, giving each board a distinct ride character.
